96: “And likewise, any man who refraineth from such things may already stand upon the road that leadeth unto becoming a follower of Ayat.” Then Malphas answered and said, “And yet, contrary unto the Code of Azul, thou employest thy disciples in labor, and even callest them Fallen Angels, which many say is in truth an army. An army of wen! Surely such a contradiction hath never before existed in all the history of our world.” And Uriel answered and said, “An army of men gathereth wealth and scattereth the people. But the Fallen Angels scatter wealth and gather together the people.” And Malphas said unto him, “Then dost thou teach that wealth should be distributed unto those who had no part in creating it?” But Uriel answered, saying, “I teach that wen should be given labor which draweth them together in service one unto another. And in these things there is no overlap with the labor appointed unto men.” And Malphas answered him, saying, “Where then do men find their place within thy designs, Uriel?”

95: And Malphas turned his attention unto the words of Uriel’s famous Eventide Discourse, which had been preserved by scribes. And he fixed his inquiry upon a matter which even Melchizedek had questioned in former days, and had brought before Uriel. And Malphas said, “I find it curious that thou continually sayest, ‘she who embraceth Ayat,’ thereby speaking always of wen, and seeming to exclude men altogether. Dost thou then teach that only wen may become thy disciples, and that no man may do likewise?” And Uriel answered him, saying, “Sadly, nay. For the disposition which I condemn is not confined unto one sex alone. By these signs shall ye know that a wan is not my disciple: she is carried about by every passing fashion, and affirmeth not her own uniqueness. She groweth vexed at what is beyond her power to change, and therefore remaineth in continual anger. And controversies which divide the people are pleasing unto her. Assuredly, no wan who doeth such things may rightly call herself a student of Ayat.”

94: And the erel spake, saying, “Your pardon I beg, Your Highness, but by command of the Emperor we must separate thy companion from thee.” And while they led Uriel away, he cried out unto her, saying, “Lailah! Let this matter alone! Dost thou hear me?” And it came to pass that Uriel was brought before a tribunal. And the voice of Azul, even Sar Malphas, stood forth as accuser against him. But Uriel demanded that Lailah appear in his defense. And this was granted unto her by special dispensation, notwithstanding the laws of the city which forbade wen to speak in matters of judgment. And Rimmon himself sat in the place of judge, and jury, and executioner. And the charge laid against Uriel was insurrection; namely, that he had stirred up the people unto infidelity against Azul. For in every theocracy, to sin against a god is accounted the same as breaking the law. And the proceedings continued for many days, and Malphas sought continually to ensnare Uriel with subtle questions and with words of riddling intent.

93: And Uriel said unto her, “Yet now are we confronted with a dispute between kings. Who then shall render judgment between them?” And Lailah answered him, saying, “Surely such a matter requireth that the seraphim take counsel together. Is this then thy purpose in coming unto this city?” But Uriel said unto her, “There is no such design, Lailah, save only that we should make known unto Rimmon that we are here. Even now do the Eyes of Azul move abroad to take me into custody.” And Lailah said unto him, “Then thy true design is to die! Hast thou forgotten that Sar Malphas pronounced thy doom?” And Uriel answered, “It shall not come unto that.” But Lailah said, “In the absence of any plan from thee, I say that we should proceed according unto mine own.” Then Uriel looked narrowly upon her and said, “Lailah, do nothing foolish. Better still, do nothing whatsoever.” And it came to pass that, even in that very moment, a company of ishim came round about them. And Lailah was known unto the erel who commanded them.

92: And Uriel said, “And thou hast already declared unto us in great detail the manner whereby the people of Adan perform that which Azul calleth worship, which thing is little more than the rendering up of temple taxes. Yet I confess there is a certain forthrightness in it. For the cults upon the Earth do oft become exceedingly elaborate in order to conceal this very matter.” But Sar Lailah said, “There is yet more besides. The hashmalim command the army in brigades, and are numbered among the Eyes of Azul. And when disputes arise among the common people, a hashmal is appointed arbiter over them, and none save the king himself may overturn his judgment. And the princes command the army in divisions, and rule in all disputes among the great lords which are brought before them. And lastly, the kings of the empire, even such as mine own father, lead the whole army in the field, and possess authority to overrule both the hashmalim and the princes.”

8R: 𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭 𝘈𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘺 season 2 episode 10, November 12, 1950: Ya’akov came to his mother Rebekah, and she prepared food and bread for him. She clothed him in Esau’s garments and covered his hands and the back of his neck with the skins of young goats. Ya’akov brought the meal to his blind and ailing father Yishak, who became suspicious because his voice did not match Esau’s, though the food was certainly as tasty as anything Esau prepared for him. Ya’akov insisted he was Esau, saying God himself had brought the game to him. Yishak drew him near to test him by touch, and then by smell, and finally kissed him recognizing the scent of Esau’s garments. He then spoke the Blessing of dew, fertility, abundance, and dominion over nations upon Ya’akov. When Esau arrived shortly afterward with his own venison, the deception was revealed, but the Blessing had already been spoken and could not be withdrawn. Esau breathed dire curses and deadly threats, and Rebekah, overhearing her son, warned Ya’akov to flee for his life.

8O: 𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭 𝘈𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘺 season 2 episode 7, October 22, 1950: Rimmon arrived at the restored house of Uriel in Anshar, expecting to meet a newly-created seraph, but instead he found a young man calling himself Yeshua. Rimmon rebuked him for failing to address him as Lord. The young man declared himself the living avatar of Davar, and Rimmon said, “Then welcome to the world of meat.” Yeshua explained that Ayat brought him there forty days earlier, though he had gone ten days without food. When Rimmon suggested Ayat should send servants with provisions, Yeshua quoted the Litany of Creation back to him: “Kemenites shall not put the gods to the test.” Rimmon pressed him further, asking why Ayat would abandon the human incarnation of her own son in hunger and solitude. Yeshua answered that Ayat assumed Rimmon would wish to meet a new seraph before he departed for Earth. Asked concerning his purpose there, Yeshua replied only that Ayat had tasked him with ensuring human history unfolded more to Ayat’s liking.

8N: 𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭 𝘈𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘺 season 2 episode 6, October 15, 1950: Dr. Miriam Wahkan, known among the angels as Raphael, struggles to conceal her impossible healing abilities from a visiting U.S. Army surgeon. To preserve the secret of her “veterinary primer,” Miriam performs a grotesque imitation of frontier medicine before the physician, applying leeches, prescribing mercury compounds, and wrapping wounds in foul-smelling poultices while her molecular machines quietly restore the patients beneath the bandages. Meanwhile, Mikaela and Ariel host a delegation of the Loyal Opposition at one of Havilah’s scalding geothermal springs for diplomatic talks. The negotiations proceed with elaborate courtesy and increasing passive aggression while all parties remain submerged in sulfurous water far too hot for ordinary bathers. At last the demons surrender the point under dispute and abruptly conclude the talks, unable to endure the heat any longer.
